beginning

From the beginning, I've always had a knack for catchy melodies. But I went through a period when I was trying to be rock n' roll and have a rock n' roll attitude. I was fighting my nature by trying to play really hard and sing really hard. But at a certain point, I realized that I loved syrupy pop music with tons of harmony.

Don't solicit feedback on your product, idea or your business just for validation purposes.

The beginning is always today.

A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead.

Although I am far too frequently convinced otherwise, with God a dead-end is only the death of an end.

But instead of the end, I__ pretty sure I found myself at the start of something.

Over the years, I__e discovered that as the years go by, sometimes we are energized and enlighten and sometimes we are demoralized and disheartened to realize that in some situations our beginning is our end and in others our end is our beginning.

...because wherever else the future leads, it leads ultimately to death, the end that is present in my beginning and in yours.

At the end, you find the beginning.
